For many parents, travel and children don’t necessarily go hand in hand, and often, the phrases “family travel” and “vacation” aren't compatible, as well.

However, a well-planned trip that keeps the kids in mind can make an amazing family vacation full of wonderful memories to last a lifetime. You no longer have to wait until the children are older or grown to take that “once in a lifetime” trip to Europe – you can go and take them along.

Ciao Bambino! travel service and the new Ciao Bambino! A Child’s Tour of Italy, strive to plan wonderful vacations to incredible destinations for parents and their children. The service is designed to make it easy for parents to travel to exotic and wonderful destinations, such as Italy, with young children, toddlers and even babies. Custom, family-focused itineraries are created using well-tested, exclusively hand-selected lists of hotels and other accommodations that will provide families traveling with children the necessities for that child – including equipment rental and even childcare.

Ciao Bambino! A Child’s Tour Of Italy, echoes the idea of fun and travel for children by illustrating how much fun a trip to Italy can be. It tackles the new and different words, events, foods and even activities as though they are not to be feared but to be relished. The book describes some of the sites, gives a little history lesson and even teaches some Italian words, as well as how to count to five!  A guide at the back of the book translates and helps with pronunciation, too. Beautiful illustrations with vivid colors will be appealing to all ages, as well as adults.
